How Cabinet Painting Works in Franklin
Builder cabinetry hides its potential under a thin factory coat. Alan strips it back the right way — a TSP degreasing wash, scuff sand to break the sheen, grain filling on open-grain oak, and a bonding primer — then sprays with HVLP spray application in a cross-hatch spray pattern. Every door is labeled and mapped, sprayed off the hinges, and given a full 14-day full cure so the factory-smooth finish holds up to a busy Franklin kitchen.
What Franklin Homeowners Need to Know
Franklin refinishing is mostly a master-planned story. The kitchens in Westhaven, Fieldstone Farms, and McKay's Mill went in with builder-grade oak and maple through the 1990s and 2000s, and refinishing gives them a custom look for far less than replacement — often the kitchen's first real update since the keys were handed over. Historic downtown homes bring older, solid cabinetry worth preserving, too. Read our 100+ five-star reviews, or add Franklin interior painting to the adjoining rooms.
Cabinet Painting Questions From Franklin Homeowners
- What paint do you use on cabinets?
- Alan uses Benjamin Moore Advance for most cabinet projects — a waterborne alkyd that levels beautifully and cures to an extremely hard, furniture-grade finish. For specialty applications, Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane is another option. Both are far superior to standard wall paint.
- How much does cabinet painting cost in Nashville?
- Kitchen cabinet painting typically ranges from $3,500 to $7,000 depending on kitchen size, cabinet count, condition, and color choice. A dark-to-light transformation costs more due to additional primer coats. Alan provides a detailed written estimate after seeing your cabinets in person.
- Do you paint bathroom vanity cabinets too?
- Yes. Bathroom vanities receive the same full process as kitchen cabinets — removal, cleaning, sanding, bonding primer, and HVLP spray application. Bathroom cabinets are exposed to higher moisture, so proper primer and paint selection is especially important.
- What if I don't like the color after it's done?
- That's why Alan does a free color consult before painting starts — testing large swatches in your kitchen's actual lighting. We don't begin until you've confirmed the color. The upfront time spent choosing eliminates surprises at the end.
